The combined exclusion amount, and deduction for qualified small business property and farm property remains $5,000,000 .  \nFiling Requirements  \nIf the decedent was a resident of Minnesota at the time of death, the estate is required to file Form M706 if the federal gross estate plus federal adjusted taxable gifts made within three years of the decedent’s death exceeds $3,000,000 on the date of death or if the estate is required to file a federal estate tax return.  \nIf the decedent was a nonresident of Minnesota, the estate is required to file Form M706 if property with situs in Minnesota is included in the federal gross estate and the federal gross estate plus federal adjusted taxable gifts made within three years of the decedent’s death exceeds $3,000,000 on the date of death or if the estate is required to file a federal estate tax return.  \nThe federal gross estate is determined by completing the federal Form 706 (see page 5) . The federal adjusted taxable gifts are defined in section 2001(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. (M.S. 289A.10, subd. 1)  \nWho Must File?  \nIf the decedent’s estate is being probated, the Probate Court or Probate Registrar will appoint someone as personal representative—also called executor or administrator—of the decedent’s estate. That person is then responsible for filing Form M706 for the estate.  \nIn some cases, the Probate Court or Probate Registrar will appoint more than one person as executor. In such cases, all persons appointed as executors are jointly responsible for filing the return.  \nIf the estate is not being probated, all persons who will receive assets included in the decedent’s federal gross estate (line 1 of federal Form 706) are responsible for filing the Minnesota return. If more than one person will receive the assets, all persons receiving the assets should choose a mutually agreeable person among them to file the estate tax returns. If one person cannot be agreed on, each person must file a Minnesota return for the decedent’s estate. Each person must include on the return not only the assets he or she is receiving, but also all of the decedent’s assets being received by other persons and the names of the other persons.
